Pros
"This is a very complete and powerful solution."

More Laserfiche Rio Pros →

"​Combined reports and data with timeline tracking.""It is well supported by Microsoft.""The security feature is valuable.""Tech support tops off as excellent.""Document flows, storage, and numbering take off the actions for checking and assigning the numbering and running around with approvals and pre-approvals.""For any organization with more than one person in it, if they are trying to organize things to let people in the company know what others are doing, then this solution is good for them.""The initial setup is easy.""What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."

Cons
"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."

More Laserfiche Rio Cons →

"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement.""During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty.""Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved.""Make it more intuitive.""The integration with Outlook could be improved.""The management of the product/back-end is complex.""Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA.""The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
